The community does care about Manjaro tho. They said last resort is forking it but hopefully they'll find a way to resolve this without it

Honestly the state of Manjaro saddens me. Years ago it was the on-ramp for (Arch) Linux for me. It was seen back then as what CachyOS is now. But it had issues back then which only got more frequent. I moved to Arch on all my new installs after that. I do hope that they can reform themselves and improve as seeing such a project stagnate is always sad. But centralization is just not what should be the case in such community projects.

Holy now I lowk wanna eat celery. Its actually working better than current day advertisement. Although its probably because of just what I'm used to

Just forbid any user from any place that has these laws from using your OS through your ToS but don't implement a way to check who uses it.

They already do that, just not as frequently. They change price tags of items every day by hand

Well the german feddit.de stopped working where I initially was after the reddit exodus thing. Feddit.org became the best successor. They have a sensible block list and a lot of german and european communities so I like it here. And I think the mod team is doing a pretty good job

That's why FOSS is like the only real way to avoid enshittification. There is less of a profit incentive. And if the original team or project sells out forks are always an option. Sadly even with traditional hardware item or household machines things are created in a way were they break after a few years once they're out of warranty so you have replacement. On that note there's a stream of a light bulb that's more than a hundred years old and still continuously running

It will be reformed soon tho. I hope they find the right balance between cutting costs and keeping good practices in driving education tho

 

I know Wero is still in its infancy and the digital Euro is still a few years away, even if you believe there'll be no delays. But depending on where you live you can already do a lot for EU financial independence.

  • Use cash (very easy but not ideal in many situations/online)
  • Use a national payment providers:
    • Germany 🇩🇪: Girocard
    • Netherlands 🇳🇱: iDEAL
    • France 🇫🇷: Cartes Bancaires
    • Poland 🇵🇱: BLIK
    • Italy 🇮🇹:Bancomat/PagoBancomat
    • Many other options, check for your country
  • Use SEPA direct debit mandate or wire money directly if you can
  • Sign up to a european crypto exchange and use it for direct purchases. although I get if you don't like crypto but this is just for direct purchases

Otherwise American Payment providers usually get at least 1% and if you use card payment a lot over time that can really add up. This also mostly makes sense when buying from a european company. For US companies it really doesn't matter much. I've been trying to replace Amazon with Otto and I use SEPA direct debit mandate to avoid fees.

 

Since I was curious I checked the actual amount of upvotes and downvotes of my post on mbin. It got 56 upvotes and 66 downvotes according to them since I was curious. Seems I hurt their little ego when I mentioned blocking their instance.
